Life’s journey.

Who are we?

In short, we think of ourselves as a friendly, open-minded, well-rounded, down to earth, Australian family that loves traveling. We are in our 40’s and have always loved to travel and backpack. This started as solo travellers, then to traveling as a couple including a fourteen month Honeymoon trip and as a growing family. We now travel with our three sons, who are born in 2005, 2007 and 2009.

We try hard to be active in our community. We have a strong sense of family. We endeavour to be dedicated to our children and each other. We try not to take life too seriously and have a sense of fun. We love to meet the locals as we feel this is one of the most important aspects of traveling! 🙂 Maybe we’ll meet you?

We also have a new blog about our home life, in Perth, Australia. Check it out – Here. Besides this epic family gap year, we have been on other family trips, also posted Here on this – our first blog.

So make yourself at home and look around…

People we enjoy?

People who know themselves or seek to know themselves. People who are not defined by those around them.

We have diverse interests which range from interests in travel (of course), history, board gaming, geocaching, table top gaming, family activities, politics, art, photography, English education, poetry, community development, community savings plans and micro finance.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. — John Lennon

Lucas is a wonderful, talkative son. A real thinker. He has a sharp mind and is a rule maker. He was born in 2005. He loves coming up with imagination games, ideas and plans, especially ideas for his two brothers to follow. He looks after everyone including his mum and dad. He has a great capacity for compassion and notes the fine details of life. He is superb.

Reuben is a cheeky, affectionate boy. Born in 2007, he is sometimes a rule breaker and often thinks outside the box. He is a doer and is not afraid to step forward. He loves to sing, to tell a good joke and is keen to try new things. He loves family time and is very determined. We are constantly amazed by him.

Felix is a bright and curious one. Born in 2009, he has a happy disposition, an infectious giggle and the world at his feet. He is happy to be the minor character in a game or just watch and looks up to his big brothers. He loves bugs and rocks. As he would say himself, “I’m a magic kid!”. He is charming and yes, he knows he is cute. We adore him.

Hazmat Guy is a laconic go-anywhere adventurer. He heard we were going on a trip and figured he would ditch the day job and head off into the blue yonder. He is not afraid of anything and with his trusty hazmat tool can tackle anything the world throws at him!

Look out for Hazmat guy in our blog pics. He may surprise you? …

Thank you for dropping by Malcolm’s Corner and commenting on ‘The Horror of H.P. Lovecraft’. I see from your blog that you are a very adventurous family. No wonder you find Lovecraft’s world “thrilling”.
